Jeesy chreesy, an appeal to Top Gear? Bleh.

I have little doubt the average driver in a PDK Spyder would blow off an average driver in most Corvette models. To be fair, the Spyder is a very quick car, point to point. Much quicker than most people realise. There's little that will be significantly quicker in the real world on public roads. But who cares? That has nothing to do with driving enjoyment.

No doubt an entirely computer controlled Spyder would be even quicker than a human driven PDK Spyder. But that wouldn't make sitting there doing nothing but going faster more fun than actually driving but going slower.

This is the key difference that most PDK fanciers seem to miss. It's not about frigging lap times. It's about involvement and enjoyment. If PDK gives you that, fair enough. But the speed thing is totally irrelevant.
